Aeldari

Master the Ancient Wisdom of the Aeldari

The Aeldari (formerly known as the Eldar) are an ancient, highly advanced, and deeply tragic xenos species who ruled the galaxy long before humanity ever left Earth. Though their empire fell to a cataclysm of their own making, the surviving factions—sailing the stars in colossal world-ships called Craftworlds—fight a desperate, hyper-calculated war for survival. Striking with unparalleled grace and precision, they use predictive psychic powers to alter fate itself.

How Do the Aeldari Play? (Playstyle Overview)

If you love a high-speed, elite, and deeply tactical army that relies on outmaneuvering your opponent and striking with surgical precision, the Aeldari are a thrilling choice. On the tabletop, they are the ultimate "glass cannon" faction, relying on three core pillars:

• Blistering Speed & Eldritch Mobility: Aeldari units are among the fastest in the game. With mechanics like "Battle Focus," they can often move, shoot their devastating weapons, and immediately dart back behind the safety of solid cover before the enemy can fire back.
• Elite Aspect Specialists: Rather than using multi-role squads, the Aeldari rely on Aspect Warriors—highly specialized units that do one specific job perfectly. Whether it’s the heavy anti-tank fire of Fire Dragons, the aerial disruption of Swooping Hawks, or the infantry-shredding power of Howling Banshees, you always have the exact tool for the job.
• Strands of Fate (Psychic Foresight): Representing their ability to see the future, the Aeldari feature a unique dice-manipulation mechanic. At the start of the round, you roll a pool of "Fate Dice" that you can swap in later to guarantee crucial hits, wound rolls, or armor saves exactly when you need them most.
